My Mac book pro pauses and choles when playing video files
Hi guys.
I have a mac book pro 13 months old. I have been using it successfully with final cut studio 2 for a while now. But now it will not play vdeo files without choking all the time. This is with all applications like a canvas in FCP, a QT movie, even avi files when viewed in movie maker on paralells. I have done a sweep with "OnyX" but no improvement.
I have empties the trash even.
Can anyone help?
PS the only way I can view video files is after they have been converted through flash to flv and then viewed in th "mpeg streamclip" application.
If your Scratch Disc is the system drive; How full is it?

External storage is always the better option for media. Are you at least using a FireWire drive?
Do you surf the web whilst watching movies and burning DVDs and playing a 3D shooter?
That could take its toll.
Run Disk Utility > Verify Disk on your internal drive. Post back if it reports errors that can't be fixed.
Quote exactly what you see in the Disk Utility window. -
HT4059 I am on a Mac Book Pro Laptop and how to play Audible books?
Hi, I am working with a new Mac Book Pro and would like to download Audible books from Amazon. I am having trouble finding the App that would allow me to listen to such books. Suggestions?
You'll need your CS6 upgrade serial number plus the serial number of the earlier qualifying version from which you upgraded (CS5?).
Download the CS6 Mac installer from Download and Installation Help
Install then enter your CS6 upgrade serial number and your CS5 serial number when prompted. -
I have been having the most difficult times with the use of iPhoto Booth for recording movie files of church services. It seems if I make a rename on the files, for some odd reason, I cannot find it in any of my Files Folders in Finder. I need to know is there a more simple way to retrieve movie files thru iPhoto Booth or is there something I may can download to fix this issue? Also, is there a way the videos can be flipped around to not a mirror image, but to a reverse camera? Please anyone who recognizes this problem, contact me ASAP. Thank you for your support!
You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5? I have a new Mac book Pro 2013 and cannot install. Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.
Apple please advise.Apple does not respond in these forums except occasionally an Apple employee will stop by. If you want to contact Apple, use the contact us link at the bottom of this page.
With respect to your question "When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5?" you are asking us to speculate as to when Apple will release their drivers supporting Windows 8.1. We do not know, and we can not speculate as to when. From the terms of use of this forum:

I own a mac book pro 13" and I use parallels for work and desperately need the "pause" key that used to be on my PC. It is the equivalent of the f15 key. My keyboard only goes up to f12 and I have looked in here and on google and can't figure it out. doesn't anyone have ideas?
Thanks!I have found the solution for myself for the above. I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

I have a new mac book pro/LION and can't access my back up data when I click on "enter time machine". I need the back up data that I could access on my old mac book pro (that is now broken). I can only access time machine back up data that I've obtained since starting the new mac book pro. Tnx so much
Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".

Flashing question mark on mac book pro,with grey screen when turned on?
flashing question mark on mac book pro,with grey screen when turned on?
Press the power button down to force a emergency hardware shutdown and hold the option/alt key down and reboot
If you see your OS X boot partition, then click it and the arrow, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and reset it. Done.
Folder with question mark issue
If that doesn't it, then do a #2 PRAM reset and try the above again.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If no OS X boot volume appears in Startup Manager, then OS X is corrupted.
Try more of the Steps above (like 1-8) then if that doesn't work.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Once you got your data off, erase and reinstall OS X onto the MacintoshHD partition and then restore from TimeMachine or bootable clone if you have it. or build new and return users files from the data recovery drive.
Most commonly used backup methods
If the drive doesn't appear in Disk Utility it might be dead or there are further complications let us know for further assistance.
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's

Screen on my Mac Book Pro goes out randomly when I touching trackpad.
The screen on my Mac Book Pro goes out randomly when I touch my trackpad. Every time the screen shuts off, I have to restart my computer so the screen will turn on again and it's driving me nuts.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and a solution?
Thanks
KevinYou can blank the monitor using those keys, that's likely what you did, it's a feature.

Mac book pro speaker sounds vibrating when volume increases
mac book pro speaker sounds vibrating when volume increases
Is there a red light coming from the headphone socket ? If so it's got 'stuck' in Digital Audio mode.
Try inserting and removing a headphone jack while wigglingit a bit - inside the socket is a small switch that can tell the difference between an analogue plug and a Toslink (digital) one - sounds like the switch is stuck in the wrong position ... -
I have a mac book pro. 4yrs old. when I'm starting it, its not booting up.. no sound.. no display. just the blinker is coming on. plz help..
Ok..
Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If nothing helped, since you don't hear the startup chord, make an appointment at an Apple Apple Genius Bar or take your Mac to an Apple certified repair provider.

Hello,
I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV. The computer flashes blue after I plug the cable in but the TV says there is no signal.
I have a Mac Book Pro 2009 and a Samsung 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 450 Series 720p LCD HDTV (2010 model).
I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?Some things you can try.

My mac book pro crashed and the logic board died. They said that i could get the hard drive out and it should have all my files on it. How do i get them off and put them on my new computer?

Do you mean a case for the external hard drive? See here. Hope this may be helpful to you.

i just bought a new mac book pro 13'' and i bought a toshiba 1tb hard drive aswell, i formatted it to mac but it will not show up on my tv so i can watch movies? and solutions or reasons why?
TVs don't support "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", so you will probably have to use FAT32. To format the external drive, follow the same steps as you did to format it with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled), but in the erasing screen, select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". Note that FAT32 isn't compatible with files bigger than 4 GB. Also, you may have to format the external drive in a PC
